@flyinmiata: A 'cold air' intake—aka, a filter on a stick—can actually suck in hot air, reducing power. Make sure your dyno tests match real-world driving! Watch the full video! https://youtu.be/-LI4owV-q-U From race car parts to bad engineering, Brandon covers our Top 10 WORST Miata Mods on FM Live. #ColdAirIntake #CarMods #EnginePower #miata #flyinmiata

Sully :

Cold air intake come stock on every vehicle. The stock is better then an aftermarket.

Benavidez :

When I installed mine, I got so much torque, the chassis twisted off the line! Barely kept it on the track.

nightridergto :

Who cares for 99% of people we just install it for the increased engine noise

Karter :

I know its dumb but it makes my supercharger louder so I think its worth it.

CleverPun :

"Hot air has less oxygen" is just plain wrong. The air has exactly the same amount of oxygen BY VOLUME, you're getting less because of the reduction in density breathed. If you're gonna talk engineering, at least be accurate.

coreyarmastus :

I have an actual cold air intake from HKS strait from Japan. It uses an air scoop that goes from the closed air box into the front of the grill. It also uses reflective heat shielding around the box to prevent engine heat making the box hot in any way.

Vas :

Bros just trying to sell us his parts

To Tik or not to Tok :

“Cold air intake” does sound cool.

_boost_goose_ :

It is false that hotter air just has less oxygen. Per unit volume it contains the same amount (21%) it is just not as dense. This means that if I had two 1L bottles full of air, one at 120°F and the other at 105°F, the bottle at 105°F would contain MORE oxygen molecules, but they exist in the SAME proportion as the 120°F bottle. You are not looking for oxygen, you are looking for density. A true CAI will either be placed in a higher pressure (higher air density) zone or in an enclosure that seeks to isolate the airflow such that a loss of density resulting from heat soak does not occur. The video states this, but I had to point out the error in the oxygen statement because it is a fundamental concept!

ThatGuy01! :

did the dyno also have 100+mph going through the grill? no? then it's not a good benchmark either.

Kenpochi :

Short ram is the engine bay

SurfFishingFL :

Just for noise tho right? The air box is more efficient in 95% of cars

jas12212007 :

My intake pipe goes down under the front bumper and get street air from under the car

Eduardo :

So what’s the difference when it’s 100 degrees outside? 😂

karlknight295 :

Where do you get cold air when is 90 out on a sunny day? 😆

FN2 :

my cold air comes from out side engine bay, oh yeah Civic type R

Fat guy in a vette :

It sounds great though

Brandon Lamb :

Is this enough cold air intake?

davidrekosh :

A clarifying point is that hot air does not have less oxygen only. Hot air is less dense so it has less of everything by volume.

Lee :

Mine is under the windshield

slow09focus :

What you really need is a relocated cold air intake. Mine went stock from behind the headlight to down all the way behind the fog light

master_t3ch :

Stock air filter housings draw air from outside of engine bay already.

devilofdaytona :

Short ram intake is what you were referring to as in quotations as a cold air intake.

Ree Smith :

most "cold air intake" are a short ram intake
